What is Tampa Bay Time?

Tampa Bay Time is a community skills exchange, also known as a “time bank.” Time banking is a way to exchange services as an alternative to the cash economy. In Tampa Bay Time we trade skills gained from work, education, life experience, hobbies, and volunteering, while making friends and building community.

Time banking is egalitarian. All activities are valued, and all activities are valued equally. One hour equals one credit and each hour of work is equal to every other, regardless of the activity. We earn credit by doing something for another member, then we can use the credit by having any other member do something for us.

Please see the Frequently Asked Questions (Member Handbook) to learn more about how Tampa Bay Time works.

Who can participate?

Everyone is welcome and anyone willing to maintain a high level of trust is invited to join the community. Everyone has something to offer and everyone has needs. By participating, each member contributes to creating a resilient and sustainable community. Tampa Bay Time has members throughout the Tampa Bay area.

1. Set up an account.
2. Pay your annual membership dues.
